The first resident of Monasterio from Nizhny Novgorod and the founder father of Creptonit promo and label – OPTIMUSS – in the outgoing year has secured the title of one of the most integral and active artists of the Russian hardtechno scene. The producer's account includes two vinyl releases: a five-track EP and participation in a compilation for the Monasterio label, as well as an exclusive cassette release with Parapher.

In the OPTIMUSS creative laboratory, collaborations with international heavy metal experts are often born, and each project is a self-sufficient act of destruction and reinterpretation of sound. The artist breaks down dance floors on a point-by-point basis in Europe (performances in the Netherlands, Spain, Hungary, and Belarus) and in combination in South America (tours in Colombia and Chile) with performances of complete reset.

In the near future, the Nizhny Novgorod artist plans to release an EP for Larisa Trax and a debut full-length album that will showcase the darker aspects of heavy techno, including fast paced rhythms, raw energy, and oppressive atmospheric density.

The pseudonym of Dutch producer Mark van der Schoot (32), Maduk first came to prominence via the YouTube channel Liquicity Drum & Bass  in 2011. Van der Schoot had started producing just a year before and had given his friend Maris Goudzwaard -- who ran Liquicity -- a copy of the track "Avalon" which was promptly uploaded. The liquid drum & bass sound was the perfect fit for the burgeoning channel and was released on their new label of the same name. 

Joining forces with Goudzwaard in 2013 to setup the label and their Amsterdam-based club nights, Van der Schoot continued to release on Liquicity and multiple other labels. With his brand of Drum & Bass becoming popular and winning both best newcomer DJ and Producer at the Drum&Bass Awards 2014 & 2015, Maduk released his debut album "Never Give Up” on U.K.-based label Hospital Records in 2016. 

The years after the album release Maduk focussed mainly on his label and events, Liquicity Festival now is one of the biggest Drum & Bass festivals in the world and the Liquicity community is steadily growing with sold out club shows all over Europe. Early 2019 Maduk announced to be back on the Liquicity roster and released his first new album single Go / Coming Down soon after. Later the singles Go Home (NCS), Colours / Still In Love [UKF10 x Liquicity], Company, Everytime, Back To Life, Go Back To The Jungle and Come Back To Me' followed, possibly all part of his second studio album. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi
